Welcome!
I'm glad you're here.
Hi, I'm Leslie, a graduate from Walden University with a degree in mental health counseling. With a deep passion for both learning and teaching, I spent five years as a classroom teacher, where I discovered the incredible power of education, connection, and advocacy.
This website was created with some help from artificial intelligence to help support fellow students and emerging therapists, especially those preparing for the National Counselor Examination (NCE). Whether you're just starting your journey or well on your way, I aim to provide a central space where you can find free tutoring, shared resources, study tools, and guidance to help you thrive.
Beyond academics, I care deeply about mental health access, equity, and professional collaboration. As an advocate for both students and clients, my goal is to build a community where we lift each other up through shared knowledge, open discussion, and practical support.
Thanks for stopping by! Whether you're here to study, collaborate, or find support, you’re welcome here.
On my YouTube videos, I provide in-depth explanations of essential topics to help you confidently prepare for the NCE.
On my TikTok, I go over different theories, modalities, techniques, and diagnoses.
